Business Litigation

Every business depends on the most fundamental of legal building blocks: contracts. To keep things from going awry – and to right them when they do – businesses rely on us for sophisticated, strategic advice, efficient assistance and zealous advocacy.

When disputes arise, we work to find solutions to enforce your rights or minimize your obligations. For matters that cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, our goal is to achieve the optimal outcome for you in a manner that is efficient, expeditious and economically sound. In one recent example, our client was awarded a $37 million jury trial verdict – one of the largest breach-of-contract judgments ever in North Carolina. The verdict was subsequently upheld by the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
